Heelay 1,200 ml Mini: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Quiet Peltier operation: without a loud compressor it works unobtrusively, suitable for the bedroom or small bathrooms
- Auto shut-off: when the 1,200 ml tank is full, the device stops and the red light flashes, so no overflowing
- Washable filter: the removable filter can be washed out and reused instead of having to buy replacement filters
- Portable: compact format with a handle, so it can be moved flexibly between bathroom, wardrobe and caravan
- 7-colour light: serves as discreet night orientation and can be switched off permanently if no light is wanted
Points of criticism
- Small rooms only: designed for 5 to 10 m², and in larger or open rooms the Peltier technology cannot keep up
- Needs warmth and humidity: the manufacturer itself states that below about 5 °C or at low humidity hardly any water collects, so it is of little use in a cold cellar
- No-name brand: build quality and long-term support are hard to judge for this brand

Build quality & everyday use
What carries the Heelay 1,200 ml Mini in everyday use: quiet Peltier operation (without a loud compressor it works unobtrusively, suitable for the bedroom or small bathrooms) and auto shut-off (when the 1,200 ml tank is full, the device stops and the red light flashes, so no overflowing). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: small rooms only. It is designed for 5 to 10 m², and in larger or open rooms the Peltier technology cannot keep up.
If you set the device up to save space, allow ventilation clearance of at least 5 cm at the sides and 10 cm at the rear, otherwise the compressor may overheat.
